Barack Obama, John McCain try 'Comic' relief

Tuesday, August 5th 2008


Presidential hopefuls Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain will turn up on Thursday's finale of "Last Comic Standing."

The two candidates filmed separate spots for the show poking fun at themselves. The "campaign ads" will run during the season finale of the comedy competition series, set to air at 8 p.m.

"Remember to vote for me in November, and if you don't think I'm funny, you've obviously never seen me bowl," Obama says, followed by "I'm not going to deliver that line any better."

In his spot, McCain said Presidents must be funny. "I may not be the last comic standing, but I'm definitely the funniest candidate," McCain says.

"Yeah, funny-looking," says an off-camera voice.

"Who said that?" snaps McCain.
